Spell Description
You point your finger toward a creature within range and whisper a message. The target (and only the target) hears the message and can reply in a whisper that only you can hear.
You can cast this spell through solid objects if you are familiar with the target and know it is beyond the barrier. Magical silence, 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 3 feet of wood blocks the spell. The spell doesn’t have to follow a straight line and can travel freely around corners or through openings.
Is Message Good?
Overall Rating: Orange. This means that message is an OK spell.
Overall Notes: Often pointless due to unavoidable metagaming, but for roleplaying purposes it’s great.
Class Specific Ratings for Message
Arcane Trickster rogue: Rogues do often sneak ahead so they won’t be able to communicate to the party, especially if your playgroup is disciplined about avoiding metagaming.
